Kids is an experimental ‘art house’ game that only
lasts for 30 minutes or so. It’s an open-ended
commentary on crowds and how they behave. In
one scene, you hover your mouse over faceless
figures huddled around a hole and watch as they
leap in. In another, you get them all to choose a
specific person. In still another, you guide a body
along what...looks like a digestive track? Trust
me, it’s all very weird. This isn’t a traditional game,
and its developers are careful to call it a “short
interactive animation” instead. It’s even part of a
travelling art exhibit. But if you’re the kind of person
who likes games that break from the bounds of the
familiar, consider it two pounds well spent.
